Allread / Hendricks Challenger
 

Hi guys,Im new on here,although been browsing for a few years.
I have purchased a S/S 74 Challenger which was bought new in December
1973 by Joe Allread,It was in car craft magazine,November 1974,titled
"Brown Baggin".
The challenger was painted by Dave Skroch sometime between 74-75 in
Green and white,and has a 360ci,4 speed and Dana 60.
Joe sold the car to Dave Hendricks in August 1976 who continued to race it
until 1979 and then parked it.
Theres a picture of it,in the 1977 direct connection parts catalog,with Dave
Hendricks name on the door.
Fast forward to december 2017,Dave sold the challenger to Duncan Watts
here in the UK,and I got it November 2018.
It still wears the Dave Skroch paint job,although it is badly cracked,but the rest of the car is a time warp,Factory interior,360 with thermoquad,4 speed,dana etc.
Im trying to find as much information and pictures as possible on this car.
I know Joe Allread passed away a few years ago,and I have only seen one picture from the Bill Truby collection.
Any help will be greatly appreciated,thanks,Dave Billadeau

I remember that car well when it was brown. We raced at the same tracks. I may have some pics of it. I will have to go into the storage boxes. He did a burnout across the scales at a points race and got suspended for a while. His stuff was always top drawer. I heard that right after he sold it the new owner banged the pan and blew it up. I know for sure I have pics of the 72 SS/K 400 4bbl Roadrunner. Allread and Glover.
